Just outside the gates of Hamburg, at the edge of the Altes Land, you will find Buxtehude. After a visit to the port town, which was founded almost one thousand years ago and is known for its Gothic-style brick buildings, you will explore the countryside and visit an orchard located on the south side of the Elbe in Europe’s largest continuous fruit-growing region. 

On a tour through the Altes Land you will experience the beauty of Europe’s largest continuous fruit-growing region. In May, when millions of fruit trees are in blossom, the area becomes a popular day-trip destination. Another favourite among tourists is the almost one-thousand-year-old town of Buxtehude which you will also visit on this tour.
